I have searched all over and have yet to find an answer to this. Does anyone know of a way to clear an FLV from the player's cache? I saw suggestions to add a query string to the end of the FLV location, but this causes the video to not play.
View 4 RepliesI have this PHP page that lists several people. When someone clicks on one of the people they are sent to another PHP page that has their video greeting in a .swf embedded into the page. This works by the php writing the path to the greeting video to the xml file that the .swf loads and plays.
Well in firefox it works perfect, but in IE when they try to click on another greeting the original greeting still plays. Its like the swf is caching the first greeting and refresh of the page does nothing to alleviate this. Is this a problem with the swf caching? or XML caching? or am I totally clueless?

I have attached a video on a frame of my website in Flash. When I preview the movie the film plays as it should.But when I export the Fla. as a Swf. file it then doesn't have the movie there anymore?It does show this error:
**Warning** The linkage identifier 'FLVPlayback' was already assigned to the symbol 'Video/FLVPlayback', and cannot be assigned to the symbol 'FLVPlayback', since linkage identifiers must be unique.
I really don't know what that refers too.
I've been searching on google and through forums for hours now trying to find a way to prevent my site from cache in browsers. I know it's not possible to "prevent" it from caching, but it's a way to trick the browser into thinking it needs to load the SWF again instead of just getting the one from the cache.
Now I've tried many types but I can't get it to work. I don't understand how to implement it into AS or Javascript and what goes where..
My site is set up by one parent SWF combined with a HTML script and 6 child SWF's, and they are updating all the time so I really need this function.
See it here: [URL]
The most used one is this I think or something close:
myIdentifier=Math.round(Math.random()*10000);
loadMovie("myAnim.swf?uniq="+myIdentifier,1);
But how do I use it? where it goes and will it work on several child SWF's?

View 5 RepliesIs there way force the browser to retain previously viewed FLV files? I've noticed using the normal netstream set-up that even if you've fully loaded and viewed a video it will have to load it again from scratch each time you come back to it. Shouldn't the file be in the user's cache?

I need a way to stop XML files from caching. I have tried the xmlfile.load(file.xml?uniq=somerandomnumber) method, and it doesn't seem to be curing the problem. I understand that this can be stopped with PHP, however, I cannot use PHP for this task.XML caching is not a problem locally, only online, from the browsers, I cannot use any browser addons either as this file will be displayed to a vast audience and I can't expect anyone to;
a) get an add on
b) clear their cache everytime they want to see the file.

View 5 RepliesI am doing a flash that getting images from Database. Here is my problem, if I dont close my flash, Whenever I update the images in Database, flash doesnt update the image at the same time. (if I have the image at frame 1, then i go to frame 2, then i update Database, now i go back to frame 1 again, the image is not updated.) It seems like the Loader is caching the image. How can I update my image? Anybody knows why?

I have to load png images into flash, such that, whenever they change on server, the change should be reflected on client! But the swf loads the same image over and over during the same session! I am guessing this is because the browser returns the cached image instead of the original! how to fix this?

View 20 RepliesJust to warn everyone using Windows 7 that in some cases Flash uses code that seems to be cached. At a certain point in time I knew my code was OK, but still it did not work correctly. I started looking at my trace results and suddenly discovered that it outputted code that was not in my sourcefile anymore.
To solve it, I renamed all AS files and then everything worked fine again.

View 2 RepliesI've created a Flex application and the size of the swf file is ~900KB. My trouble is that the files are not getting cached. When I launch the application for the second time, the swf file is fetched again from the server. I'm including the swf file in a jsp, and I'm not modifying any HTTP Caching Headers. I assumed that the swf files will be cached automatically. Isn't it so? How do I forcefully cache the file? Do I need to provide anything in the MXML code or just a response.setHeader("Cache-Control","max-age=100"); is enough? Can anything be done from the flex side itself?
View 2 Repliesi pass text strings from a configuration file into my Flex app, one of the strings i pass in is a mailto link which i use to allow users of my app to send me feedback. I recently needed to change this link however when i updated the link in my config file the change did not happen instantly in my Flex app. In fact i had to clear my cache (both browser and flash player) before the change showed up. This of course is fine for me but how can i be sure that users of the application also get the updated content? Is there a way to force a refresh of data loaded into my swf on other users browsers?
Finally is this an issue with my browser cache or the Flash player cache? Does the flash player only keep such data, like my email address, in memory while the app is in use and then clear once it is closed or does it cache this data for the next time the user wants to use the app?
I have updated the crossdomain.xml security settings for my site - but it seems that the older version is being cached in both IE and Chrome.I've checked the headers sent by the server and it's not sending any cache control headers that would be forcing the browsers to be caching crossdomain.xml.
In an attempt to get around the issue I've also linked to my crossdomain.xml file in an iframe on the site. This hasn't worked though and flash still seems to be using the old security settings.
After changing domain name where flash application being hosted I should change crossdomain.xml file. That crossdomain.xml is hosted on api-server, which is used by flash application. I see that flash uses crossdomain.xml from browser's cache. Is there any trick to make flash to not get crossdomain.xml from cache? Maybe there is any parameter, that I can pass to flash during it's call in object tag?

I have a .swf in my rails application, located here:
/public/bin/editor/Editor.swf
It works fine, with one flaw, it gets cached often, so when we release a new version we are usually needing to tell the customers to clear their cache when they experience issues. My question is, how could I force the .swf to break cache when I release a new version? Something like:
/public/bin/editor/Editor.swf?timestamp=124158512132
I tried the above, but it did not seem to work.

View 1 RepliesI have a web application developped using as3. The problem is that these application loads some image files, and add my watermark to them.What is happening is that these images are being cached by the browser, allowing the users who know how to access the tmp folder, to get these files, without my watermark.Adding the watermark previously to the image, is not an alternative for me, due the fact that when the a premium user is logged in the watermark is not added.How can I disable the caching?
View 3 RepliesI am developing an eLearning application in Flex which shows flv movies hosted on a webserver. If the app has many simultaneous users the download demand is quite high because a lot of users need to download the (same) movie(s). Is there a way I can precache this data in my flex client like storing it in the browsercache or something so that for later sessions the bandwidth demand is less high?
View 1 RepliesI have a Flash application that sends a getURL request for an image file every 60 seconds.
This works fine in all browsers except IE9 with Internet Option set to automatically check for newer versions of stored pages. I setup Charles proxy (http://xk72.com) to watch the requests being sent by my flash app and confirmed that the request is being surpressed by IE9 when the setting is set to Auto, but works fine if I change the setting to check everytime I visit the webpage. This, however, is not an option! I need this to work in all browsers regardless of how the options are set.
Even if I do a page refresh (F5), the ASP page does not reload. The only way to get it to reload is close the browser and restart it.
I have tried adding content headers to disable caching but it does not appear to work.
For Example, here is my request headers:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date Sun, 02 Oct 2011 23:58:31 GMT
Server Microsoft-IIS/6.0
X-Powered-By ASP.NET
Expires Tue, 09 Nov 2010 14:59:39 GMT
Cache-control no-cache
max-age 0
Content-Length 9691
Content-Type text/html
Set-Cookie ASPSESSIONIDACQBSACA=ECJPCLHADMFBDLCBHLJFPBPH; path=/
Cache-control private
I have read the Microsoft blog (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2010/07/14/caching-improvements-in-internet-explorer-9.aspx) which states that if I add the content headers, the browser should respect my request, but it obviously does not.
I don't think this is a Flash issue since the html page that holds the Flash object will not even reload.
I'm new to Flex and want to learn about how to implement client-side caching for data that is repeatedly requested from the server.
Let's focus on a simple example to discuss caching. Take a Flex application having several screens, where each screen plots a line series (of x and y data). The user can switch between the screens, and each time a screen is visited or re-visited, numerical arrays for both x and y data are requested from the server. The values of the x and y data on the server, of course, never change.
I want to learn what techniques are available that could be used to implement caching in the browser or AIR application such that once the x and y data is downloaded the first time, the application pulls these arrays from cache when re-visiting this screen in the future.
Why on earth doesn't Safari on Windows use cached files...
When the movie's been downloaded and cached for IE & FF, on a refresh, Safari insist on re-downloading a fresh file from the server, again & again...
If it does, where the hell in Settings can you set it so that it'll favor cached files if they exist, rather than downloading a fresh one from the server...
